Sushinista is a charming spot near Berkeley High that offers a variety of Japanese snacks and sushi burritos made with fresh ingredients. The vegan sushi burrito with tempura sweet potato fries and matcha salt is both delicious and healthy. The menu features unique items like fried zucchini and puri puri poke sushirito. Although not a traditional Japanese-owned restaurant, the food is authentic and flavorful, with a strong emphasis on quality sushi rice. Prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. Takeout is available since seating is limited, making it more suitable for pick-up than dine-in. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere, often playing 70s soul music, which adds to its cool vibe. Customers consistently praise the freshness and taste of the sushi rolls, croquettes, and mochi doughnuts. The owners, originally from Kyoto, are known for their warm hospitality and care in preparing the food. Overall, Sushinista is recommended for those seeking a different sushi experience with a Japanese fusion touch.
